This car is perhaps one of the best examples of a 944 Turbo you've seen. This auto has been maintained using well known Porsche shops and OEM parts to maintain the reliability and performance. Adult owned and maintained, previous owners have used Eurosports, Fischer Motorcars or EuroWorks Ltd. for maintenance and service. The 30K service included replacement of: Clutch, Timing Belt, Rollers, Brake Master Cylinder. At 46K motor mounts, steering rack, water pump and AC were replaced. Mobile 1 oil since new. Around 58K I had the transmission and rear end oils changed with a routine oil change. Most recent services at 63K included; Timing Belt, Rollers, Water Pump, Thermostat, Timing Gear and Tensioner and All Drive Belts. This was done as preventive maintenance. New Battery and oil 1 were changed at 67K. The engine, turbo, transmission all run smooth and strong as they should, no noises or excuses. Anything that has needed attention this car received. I have most of the service records since new.
With an accident free, no rust, and low miles and major services accomplished; this truly is one of the best 944 Turbos you will find. To help you visualize the condition, I will try to outline the condition of various areas on a scale, 1 to 10 being the highest. Tires 10/10 Installed less than 500 miles ago;a new set of Yokohama 580 tires. Rims 8/10 Paint 9/10 Windshield 10/10 Dash 10/10 Front Seats 9/10 Rear Seats 9/10 Carpet 9/10 Headliner 9/10 I have taken extra pictures to show you the various items mentioned above. If you have any questions, please e-mail me before bidding, I will respond to your questions.
Externally and Internally you will find this in wonderful condition. There is a small scratch on the left front area where the spoiler bolts up against the fender. A bolt came out and allowed the two pieces to rub. This was corrected, but has left a couple of scratches. A close up photo is included in the pictures. There are some small pits on the left front nose from driving on the Interstate, not very noticeable, but there. Picture is included of this area. The factory alarm is in place but does not work. Since this lives in my garage I have not had it looked at. If an alarm is needed, I would suggest maybe looking into current offerings as I would imagine they offer newer features and technology. Included is a protective cover for the removable sun roof. Also included is a nice bra for protection on the frontal area.
I have had this beauty for 7+ years and reluctantly have decided to sell it. I need the room in the garage for my wife's new car, so I am offering this at what I believe is a very fair price for a very nice fast 944 Turbo. I have set a buy it now price and expect to get something near that for this beauty. I will of course entertain offers. Thanks for looking.

Porsche boss admits Panamera's style is offputting
Sat, 11 Oct 2014
"There have been some small mistakes and we will do it better. For example the design could be better." - Matthias Mueller.
The design of the Porsche Panamera has been divisive, to say the least. Pretty much any Porsche with four doors was going to draw the ire of enthusiasts, but the fast-back-style roofline, prominent curves and seemingly never-ending hood have particularly irked some brand loyalists.
NYT profiles Blue Nelson, a reclusive and interesting CA car collector
Thu, 25 Sep 2014If it weren't for his Dale Earnhardt Sr. looks, Blue Nelson could be one one of those soft-spoken, nondescript guys whom you meet briefly and never learn much more about. However, as The New York Times shows in a recent profile and video, behind closed doors, Nelson keeps a fascinatingly eclectic collection of automotive oddities and vintage bicycles.
While his main career is in the movie industry, Nelson's other job is as a car hunter. He takes on clients searching for a specific model and helps them find and restore the dream vehicle that they're after. Hiring him takes some dedication, though, because Nelson doesn't advertise his services. "If people want to find me, they know how to find me," he says in the video.
Beyond being an automotive private detective, Nelson has a fantastically varied collection of vehicles of his own. He likes to have models that people don't usually see, and his garage holds a classic Chrysler New Yorker and an extremely rare Rometsch convertible. Although, the one that means the most to him is the 1962 Porsche 356 convertible that Blue came home in as a baby. Check out the video to learn more about Nelson and his philosophy about forming a bond with a car.
How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
